Available Creatives

Round 2 applications

Applications for Round 2 will open in June 2020 and close in August 2020. We'll update this website with exact dates soon.

For Creatives: Creative professionals or artists can continue to submit an expression of interest in being involved in the programme so their details can be included in the Arts Online list for schools and kura to consider as partners.

Note that all professional artists and creative practitioners who are listed on this page are not police vetted. As the school or kura leading the project, you must organise the police vetting check of the requested creative(s) and provide the vetting report before the project commences. If a creative does not 'pass' the vetting, you must inform the Ministry of Education by email (
CreativesinSchools@education.govt.nz
) so we can remove that creative's profile from the Arts Online website.

When you're ready to find out more or complete your joint proposal, you'll need to request a complete profile(s) of the creative(s) from us.

Auckland
I live on the North Shore of Auckland and am often downtown for school or work commitments. I am totally open to pretty much going anywhere in the greater Auckland area if it works with schedules, traffic, pay etc.

When I'm available:
As things stand at the moment, I work flexible part time hours as Assistant Manager for NZTrio (approx. 15 hours/week) which vary week to week/month to month depending on concert activity. I have one more year part time at Elam beginning in March for which Wednesdays are mainly booked. Sept/Oct 2020 will likely be a busy time preparing for my final evaluation. Most of my art-making takes place in my home studio, but if there's a space in a school for this, I would consider a 'residency' scenario. Ultimately I'm fairly flexible and may need to keep some flexibility depending on how integrated the work is with my current studies. I have a car, and am confident we can make something work.

When I'm available:
I'm currently quite flexible during school hours in 2020 and don't currently have any large projects planned that could not be moved to accommodate a commitment to this programme. However, I'm always looking to get new projects started so would probably need about a month of notice to ensure I would be able to fully participate in the programme.

When I'm available:
I am a creative freelancer so I am able to carve out my own schedule. I am looking to personally work with three schools this year as a continuation of the piloting and testing of our programme, while simultaneously teaching a train the trainer programme so the creative youth programme can be brought to more schools. Times and days will be negotiated with schools to be mutually useful.

When I'm available:
I am available throughout the Auckland area at any time within the school day. We have schools that book two classes or 32 classes each week and can accommodate any. No school is too big or too small. We don't charge for travel.

When I'm available:
I am in my last year of study for my Masters. This study is extramural largely. I would make timetabling work in consultation with the school/group when we discussed the project and how it could work.

When I'm available:
I am fairly flexible at the moment for 2020, a lot of my jobs come up on short notice and are fairly flexible around my existing schedule, so if I was to get involved in a project, I would block out that time and work the other jobs around those times.

When I'm available:
My availability is flexible. I have other drumming contracts in place and another part-time job. All days of the week can be looked at for opportunities, I can't state what days of the week my other contracts will be on yet sorry as I don't know.

When I'm available:
Being self-employed, I have a flexible schedule. I am a busy working photographer, so I do like to book my calendar in advance, and am happy to work in with schools' plans with enough notice.

Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Waikato
I am based in Thames, on the Coromandel Peninsula which makes me equal distance from Tauranga, Hamilton and Auckland being all approximately 1.5 hours drive away. For this reason I am open to approach from any schools within that radius, but would certainly consider travelling even further afield if the right opportunity arose. For the purpose of this question, immediate locations I can be available in are: the Coromandel Peninsula and Hauraki Plains; Waikato and Bay of Plenty Districts; Auckland Central; West and South Auckland localities.

When I'm available:
At this stage I am very flexible around availability to take part in the Creatives in Schools programme as I have not yet committed to any major projects for the 2020 year. That can, of course, change. However, if I were to receive a proposal to participate with a partner school in this programme in the first term, I would make that my priority and work with any school to ensure my availability provided a satisfying learning experience with significant personal contact time in class to create a rewarding teaching interaction for the students, their teachers, and myself.

When I'm available:
I am currently seeking new roles in the arts facilitation and education area. I am also maintaining two studio days per week. So can be available three days per week which are flexible at this stage. I am involved in a medical research project which has several days' commitment January to June 2020 if I am selected for tests. Otherwise good to go.
